There wasn't a better day than when I wiped Windows from this ol' box and put CB 9.04 on it...and it's been my main work/play desktop for months now. The main thing I noticed working, that never seemed to work in Windows, is side to side scrolling on my Logitech bluetooth mouse. Thank you! I've nearly trained myself to use GIMP more just so I don't have to depend on Photoshop...which would be the only app I tend to need in the Win world. The only problem I have is with Flash on the web (CPU spikes, freeze-ups, etc) mostly due to not running proprietary ATI drivers because I screwed up my last attempt! If anyone knows how to get this card working with its drivers...email me!

Will update as I add/change things.
6-11-10 Well, after only four days another MSI board busted on me. It was fine and then BOOM! No more keyboard. Got a USB keyboard and then no more mouse and no matter what I do it will not recognize any combination of the two together. This is the second time a MSI board has malfunctioned on me in the past month. Needless to say, the next motherboard I buy will NOT be from MSI. So I'm back to using the old trusty 12 year old Compaq for now.

I have to correct my last post because after a month - the system is damaged. I don't know what really happen, I boot the machine and right after the "Starting up..."-message there were a kernel panic massage and the boot process ends. I just reboot the system and did a memtest. And after I hit the enter key memtest come up with a lot of errors.
Now, I'm sad the internal RAM on the board is completly dead.

Okay it is alive again, I sent it back to my dealer (bought on ebay; warrenty case and used), he repaired it, change the board, did some upgrades. Now it has a PIII 600MHz Processor instead of a Celeron 500MHz and maxed out the RAM up to 320MB.

Hey guys,
I used to dabble with #! since the early days when I found it via the EeeUser forums but it's since been supplanted on my netbook by another OS. When I started looking for a lightweight OS to replace FreeNAS on my server I thought I'd give her another whirl. (And finally sign up to the forums here!)
Currently being tested under VirtualBox on my main desktop:
Case: Antec 300
Motherboard: MSI 770-C45
Processor: AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition (3.2GHz, Quadcore)
CPU Cooler: Zalman Flex
Memory: 8GB Corsair Dominator (1600MHz, DDR3)
Graphics Card: XFX GTX280
/ drive: 30GB OCZ Vertex Turbo SSD
/home drive: 500GB Western Digital Black
/storage drive: 1500GB Western Digital Green
Optical Drive: LG Writemaster DVD Writer
Power Supply: Corsair CX400
Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04
With a view to going on my server:
Case: Silverstone Sugo SG-05B
Motherboard: Zotac 8200-C-E (Integrated GeForce 8200)
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (2.4GHz, Dualcore)
CPU Cooler: Scythe Shuriken
Memory: 2GB Corsair ValueRAM (800MHz, DDR2)
/ drive: 30GB Kingston SSDNow V-Series SSD
/home drive: 1500GB Western Digital Green
I like it here, long-time lurker. I am really impressed at how the community has taken of too. I wish #! the very best of success, it seems to fill a niche that a lot of people have. Me? I just want something more-fully featured than a NAS OS that doesn't eat up cpu power.
EDIT - Seems the forum resizes pics but doesn't allow 'click to bigify'. Oh wells, squint.

@ShakeyJake - if you want to post a bigger picture, try using a thumbnail code like this. Afaik tinypic doesn't provide it, but imageshack does. It looks like this:

Comments: Very basic laptop. Everything seemed to be working out of the box in 9.04. A few, easily fixed, problems discovered so far in statler. See here: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … n-statler/
I'm not sure if I already posted here, but updating
1) IBM T-22 pIII 933 + 512mb pc133 & 5.4k HD. No wireless (external card), 1.1 USB.+ USB2.0 card w/ external HD's attached.
Has been running 9.04 light for a year now, as a file server, no issues, on our LAN. Nice!
I'm going to upgrade it to Statler light soon as it goes beta.
2) Dell rigs (m1710, e1705, e1505, 1420, 6400, c8xx laptops). All running #! 9.04. No issues at all, runs perfect. Wonderful!
3) HP rigs; dv5000 ,dv8300's = running 9.04 and the dv5xxx's running Statler alpha-2, works great, no issues so far.
I've got some desktops, and they're all on 9.04. Two are C2D's + Geforce GPU's (p31 or P45 chipsets) and three desktops on older AMD socket-A rigs. No issues so far. Also a 2nd home server: pIII dualie SMP 370DLE + 4g ECC-133 and older PCI gpu. Only issue was my 64/66 intel dual-1000 LAN card. Can't remember what I did but took an hour or so. Solid as a rock.
p.s. most systems are dual boot XP. I find I rarely need to use XP with VMware stuff or wine, etc... some CAD stuff just needs to be native though...
Guess, I should update this to reflect my new Acer Aspire One Netbook.

Main OS: #!Crunchbang Statler (Squeeze)
Desktop: Openbox WM
Kernel: 2.6.32-5
Comments: I tried a couple Linux OS distros on this Netbook >> Opened as a Live CD > Kuki/Linux (a distro made specifically for AAO) > LinuxMint-9 Xfce, then installed #!Statler (works best and looks nice)
Everything with #!Statler worked as Live, then a swift and easy install. I am very pleased with both, #!Statler and my new Netbook.

Comments: Graphics are rather slow (especially antialiased fonts), certain terminal emulators like terminator suffer from frequent slowdown/stuttering problems, dirty artifacts/mistakes when rendering TTF/non-pixmap fonts (especially in Firefox), Compositing is a slideshow
But all in all I'm glad that it runs better than Ubuntu. Guess the graphics card is just too bad/damaged. I should've expected this from a second-hand laptop.

Mine was like that until I followed the instructions on thinkwiki.org and now the graphics work lovely
